Firstly, let me make one thing clear--and I mean no disrespect to you, and thank you for your candor. But our survival as a people is not up for a debate. I"m only going to present factual occurrences, they'll speak for themselves.

Secondly, I only debate my equals; all others, I teach.

Okay, you said "no" to black people being targeted in every area of the society. Simple question: Show me where at on the entire planet there is a group of black people doing better that white people in that region? We had the Black Wallstreets and the Greenwoods where black people were out-pacing white people socioeconomically, and you see what happened to those communities.

How is that possible, including over in Europe, if every metric of society is engineered to be in our detriment? You can't show me any place on Earth where black people are socioeconomically better off than the white people, including countries in Africa where the population is majority black.

Furthermore, what is Jim Crow, convict leasing, redlining, housing discrimination, the Highway Act, The War on Drugs, eugenics, racial terrorism, miscegenation law, segregation, mass incarceration, police brutality, and the wealth gap (again also in Europe) anything but being systemically targeted in every level of the society?

These are the circumstances a black child will have to grow up and deal with. Can you really say a white parent loves their child if they not only prepare their child to deal with a world that will bring them that onslaught of mistreatment but also do everything in their power to eliminate the forces at play that are against their child?

In regards to Madonna's kids, none of them have ever spoken out against replace systemic racism with a system of justice for the black collective. So, while they may be doing good individually, they pose no threat to the status quo, which is the only thing the people who run this sick system care about.

There are plenty well-to-do black people, but there are minute few who actually use their influence and resources to go against the grain in favor of black empowerment.

Michael Jordan is one of the richest people on the planet. Problem: He hasn't use any of that to fix the current and historical effects those aforementioned forms of racism have had on black people.

Every parent is going to, whether directly or indirectly, impart their value system onto their kids. As a white person navigating this world, you pick up those values based on how the society treats you. That value system is what you'll instill in that child, which is normally along the lines of "There's no such things as white supremacy, You can do anything if you just work hard enough, Everybody is a little bit racist, Racism was a long time ago and we just need to heal, and We just need to learn love and that'll fix racism." Kind of like what you were saying in your comment.

Just because a black kid raised by white parents is well-to-do doesn't they'll be equipped nor inspired to deal with the overarching issue affecting our society.
